Implementing an Unfolding Case Study Throughout the Nursing Curriculum to Increase Opioid Addiction Education
Background:
Opioid use disorder (OUD) will touch the careers of future generations of nurses no matter their chosen setting of work. It is critical to incorporate OUD education into the nursing school curriculum to prepare these future nurses.
Method:
Research has shown that the unfolding case study is a beneficial pedagogical modality. It allows for the building of new information and the expansion of critical thinking by encouraging the student to assess and ask questions to receive further information.
Results:
An unfolding case study was created that centered on a person who develops OUD and their family. It includes simulations, activities, and discussion topics.
Conclusion:
The unfolding case study can be integrated throughout the undergraduate curriculum from assessment to critical care. The unfolding case study can continue into the graduate program, which allows for interdisciplinary use. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(4):235-238.].
